Each project has built-in mailing lists. No third-party email service needed. |

## List Types |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Every project automatically gets two mailing lists: |
| 8 |
|

|
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
| **Content** | New releases and content updates | |
| 12 |
| **Devlog** | Development updates and behind-the-scenes | |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Lists are created automatically when you create a project. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
## Subscribers |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
When someone follows a project, they are subscribed to its content list by default. |
| 19 |

## Sending a Broadcast |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
To send a broadcast email: |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
1. Go to your dashboard |
| 33 |
2. Click "Broadcast" |
| 34 |
3. Write a subject (up to 200 characters) and body (up to 5,000 characters) |
| 35 |
4. Send |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Broadcasts are plain-text emails. Each email includes an unsubscribe link. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Rate limit: one broadcast per 24 hours. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
## Automatic Notifications |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
The platform sends automatic emails when: |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
- You publish a new item (content list) |
| 46 |
- You publish a blog post (content list) |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
These are triggered by the scheduler and do not count against your broadcast rate limit. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
## Unsubscribing |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
Fans can unsubscribe from individual lists via the link in any email, or by unfollowing your project (which unsubscribes from all of that project's lists). |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
## Importing Subscribers |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
Subscriber import from other platforms (CSV upload with consent emails) is on the [roadmap](../about/roadmap.md). When migrating, use the [data import tools](./migration.md) to bring over your content; your audience can follow your new project to subscribe. |
